Frederick George Loring (1869–1951) was an English naval officer and author of magazine journalism and short stories, of which 'The Tomb of Sarah' is the best-remembered today. He was born on the Isle of Wight, the son of Admiral Sir William Loring. The navy was clearly in his blood, as his grandfather and great-grandfathers had also served. He followed family tradition and joined the Navy and rose through the ranks, eventually retiring as a Commander in 1909. During his naval service he took an interest in the fast developing area of wireless telegraphy and became a specialist in wireless systems. After leaving the Navy he worked for the Post Office as Inspector of Wireless Telegraphy, in charge of systems and operation until 1930, and subsequently as a director of the International Marine Radio Company.

'The Tomb of Sarah' was first published in the Pall Mall magazine in December 1900. It has been much anthologised ever since.
